Game-Specific Tips:

Missile Command: Click (or tap on mobile) to place the crosshair where you want your bombs to explode. Place them just below the missiles’ paths to net the best success at neutralizing them.

General Tips - All Atari Games:

On desktop or laptop, be sure to keep your cursor inside the gameplay area. Moving your cursor outside the gameplay area will pause the games. 

Using a mouse instead of your laptop’s touch pad can make for smoother play.

It is better to click rather than to use the space bar as instructed to start or resume a game. The space bar will sometimes cause the page to scroll, which we are in the process of correcting.
